LHCC — Don't miss the Caribbean Marketplace on Saturdays

Caribbean Marketplace

No shopping excursion in Little Haiti is complete without a stop at the Caribbean Marketplace. Also known as Mache Ayisyen, the 9,000-square-foot marketplace takes place every Saturday at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex. Visitors will find Afro-Caribbean art, food, clothing and much more for purchase as they stroll through the shopping stalls of local vendors stationed throughout the lively venue. The Little Haiti Cultural Complex is the heart of the Little Haiti community, and it truly comes to life on the weekends, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing to DJ-spun tunes or live performances while you shop. 5925 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, FL 33137

Founded in 2015, COOL Creative is a premium clothing brand that combines social justice, art and fashion.
